On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather was already very warm. Even in the war-torn areas north and south of the river, people began to take risks to cultivate the fields.
Otherwise? In the current state of war between the North and the South, not only poor families, but also wealthy families with some money at home cannot survive.
In the future, if the rice from the south cannot come in, won’t the whole family starve to death?
However, for the five thousand gold army in Jeju City, Jeju Prefecture, the sudden dense appearance of Han people in the fields outside the city has undoubtedly become a new kind of fun for them in this extremely boring place... It may be a jump from the tribal alliance to the imperial era.
The Kingdom of Jin has a great slave society. Of course, it may be because the army is outside and the natural and uncontrolled animality is there... In short, in the past ten days or so, the most favorite thing for the Jin army to do was around Jeju City.
They shot Han people in the fields for fun.
This is just like the local Han people who go to the shores of Liangshan to catch wild ducks before and after the New Year.
Unlike ducks that can swim into the depths of the water when frightened, ordinary people cannot leave their fields alone... The timing is here. Today, Aunt Wang next door died on the field ridge. The whole village was frightened, and everyone
The land was not plowed; so he had to try carefully again the next day, but it was his turn to die on the field. The next day he wiped away his tears and went back, and his wife was snatched away again. At this time, he could only stay with a few friends.
He went up to Liangshan Po to ask Chief Zhang to give him some food, but the villagers who stayed behind had to be cautious before trying to go to the fields.
The fun of Jin people will continue one after another.
However, in the past two days, for the Jin people in Jeju City, this kind of fun has suddenly become extremely dangerous... The reason is simple and direct. Starting from the 26th of the first lunar month, there have been many inexplicable attacks around Jeju City.
The small number of Song Army cavalry troops was rare and powerful. Groups of Jin soldiers in groups of three to five were easily eliminated in a single encounter. If only one or two of the seven or eight people could escape, they would have to be the top equestrians in the army.
It progressed to yesterday afternoon, when a Jin army of fifty men and half a group of soldiers went out to patrol the city. Under the blue sky and white sun, they were also surrounded by two to three hundred Song army cavalry... The Jin soldiers wanted to fight at first, but unexpectedly
Unexpectedly, the junior officers in this Song army were far more skilled in martial arts than imagined, and there is no doubt that a few officers with extraordinary bravery played an important role in small group operations.
Finally, eighteen of the fifty people came back, and all of them had their noses and ears cut off.
As a result, according to the military law of the Jin Dynasty, they were killed that night, and twenty-two of them were killed... because the murderer of the army was the centurion of the centurion, and his head was also hung on a weapon that knew how to find its way.
They were put under the necks of war horses and sent back to the city. Therefore, according to the military law of the Jin Kingdom, several captains of ten who did not go out to 'hunt' were also beheaded in public display.
But compared with these, the most devastating thing is that the leader of this 5,000-man army, a young nobleman from the Wanyan tribe, who was sitting in Wanyan Seri with tens of thousands of households for the first time in this southern expedition, actually publicly issued an order
, except for the small team of sentry riders, no one is allowed to easily go out of the three miles of Jeju City to provoke provocations. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed!
Let us also say that the military law of the Jin Dynasty was very strict, and Wanyan Seri was only a little young and liked to read books about southerners, but this did not delay his joining the army since he was a child, and his experience in destroying the Liao and Song Dynasties was enough to convince the public.
Therefore, although the Jin army was in a commotion, no one dared to question it easily.
However, that's all... It should be noted that at this moment, it is not yet one year since the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. On the surface, the fundamental purpose of this time is to completely digest and annex Hebei's second southern expedition. In essence, it is also
There is no suspicion of frustration:
Li Yanxian's restoration of Shaanzhou was, after all, only the power of one state, a local battlefield, and the remnant of more than 100,000 Western troops was the main force of the Song army. The Jin Kingdom's Western Route Army inevitably felt that it failed to do its best;
The Tokyo Remaining Division was blocked in Huazhou, so it was more or less a stalemate. Moreover, the third prince, Yinliduo, commanded the Yanjing Central Army to sweep Hebei, and never had any intention of crossing the river to deal with the Tokyo Remaining Division head-on;
And the Fourth Prince Wanyan Wushu's march south was more proof of the strength of the Jin army... It easily completed the set task, and chased south and north with an army of 20,000, easily locking the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
So at this moment, almost all the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom felt that five thousand troops were enough to run rampant in the Central Plains. Then I dare to ask how the Jeju defenders, who had never been frustrated and were in full arrogance, could endure such a provocation?
It’s just two words about military law!
"General Da Ta, there is a provocation from the Song army in the north of the city!"
On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, Meng'an, a man from Bohai who was stationed in the north city of Jeju City, was wiping the body of his war horse with his shirtless body in the house he occupied, when he suddenly heard a ridiculous message.
In fact, Meng An was stunned for three to five breaths before he suddenly led his horse out without saying a word, and then he got on his horse with no arms in front of the gate and headed north of the city. When Da Ta Bu Ye entered the city, he went to the city.
When you look down at the city, this sense of absurdity is even more indescribable.
Because there are only seven riders in the city at this time!
Two riders were in front, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a vertical flag. Each flag was temporarily dipped in paper and ink with paste, and the right one said: Break Jeju City;
The call on the left is: Capture Wan Yanli alive.
And there was another horse behind, but it was a serious flag-bearer, writing: Song Dynasty Tokyo Remaining Secretary Tongzhi Yue. Following behind, there are three knights who raided the formation, needless to say.
In addition, there is a general in the middle. Before the flag is being raised, he is fully armored, with a bow and a spear, and he is sitting on a big horse, motionless!
After all, Da Ta Bu Ye was an old soldier. After asking what the handwriting meant, although he laughed angrily, he was not in a hurry to go to the city. Instead, he asked someone to help him put on his armor while looking at it from a distance... He first instinctively
He set his sights on the huge pool of water no more than ten miles away to the north. The shore there was mixed with green and yellow and overgrown with reeds, but he quickly shook his head, and finally fixed his sights on a place halfway between the pool and Jeju City.
Above the woods, he shook his head again.
By the way, there are not many places to hide people on the plains, and the woods are not big. A thousand people can be hidden at most. Thinking back to the previous Jinqi report and discussion, the total strength of the Song army is probably seven or eight.
It is even more ridiculous that there may not be hundreds of cavalry. And if this is the case, it can only be said that the other side has taken advantage of them in the past two days, thinking that the Song army can still gain the upper hand in a battle with a thousand cavalry.
But a serious problem is that the forest is five or six miles away. Even if Da Ta Bu Ye wanted to destroy the Song army, he might not dare to do it.
With this thought, after the Bohai Meng'an put on his armor, he could only gather troops and horses to the north of the city, and at the same time sent people to the city to find reports, and asked Wanyan Saili to revoke the previous military order and allow him to send troops away from the city to exterminate this beast.
.
However, after waiting for a long time, Da Ta Bu Ye only waited for the word "no".
The situation is like this, Da Tao is more and more unable to let these four people go!
"You all know the matter, now you can see it clearly with me!"
Although this man was from Bohai, he was known for being the first to cross the border. Meng'an from the Jin Kingdom sat on the top of the city angrily and summoned dozens of officers under his command including Jurchen, Xi, Bohai, Goryeo, Han, and Khitan.
Pointing to the mediocre Song State officer below. "Logically speaking, according to our rules for team killing, you officers should not be allowed to go down. But this person must be a commander of the Song State, and his official is not small;
Judging from his actions in the past two days, he is also a capable person; coming here today, it can be seen that he is even more capable... Can't you say that such a person has insulted you? In one sentence today, who can pick this person in the city?
After winning the military exploits of this expedition to the south, who should I recommend? Well, since I’m here to challenge you, who dares to go down and pick this guy off?”
When these officers heard this, they were somewhat happy because they knew that Da Ta was not bragging.
What's the meaning?
You must know that the foundation of the Jin system is ultimately the system of Meng'an and Mouke, and this system integrates military and political affairs. In other words, Meng'an and Mouke are not only military commanders of thousands and centurions, but also political and political leaders.
Economically all-round nobles, these two classes are basically the core ruling class of the Jin Kingdom, and they are also the two classes with the most serious appointments.
Therefore, after a Meng'an makes a political promise to a group of people whose highest status is nothing but conspiracy, then this promise will basically not be empty words.
After the explanation, they probably felt that the person below was not good-looking. After a dispute, someone finally got the upper hand, but they couldn't wait to go down to the city. Then they put on armor and swords in the city gate, took up their bows and reined in their horses, and went straight out of the city.
Da Ta Buye was sitting on the top of the city. Seeing his son riding out into battle alone, and the war horse bringing up a cloud of smoke, he felt agitated in his heart, so he turned back and ordered the sergeant to beat the drum to cheer... However, as soon as the drum sounded, this
Bohai Meng'an turned around, but was suddenly startled. Even the sergeant who was playing the drum stopped his movements instantly.
It turned out that the man who went to fight disappeared in an instant!
"What's going on?" Da Ta Buye was puzzled for a moment. "You haven't put on your armor yet. Are you coming back to change clothes?"
"Dead!" A Muke next to him paused for a long time before coming back to his senses to answer. "Just when the general turned around, Xie Lu was just bending his bow and readying an arrow. He was about to win with his bow and arrow, but he was blocked by the opponent from a distance.
The arrow hit the front gate directly from a distance of more than a hundred steps, but it happened to miss the horse... The war horse knew the way and took his body directly back to the city."
Da Ta Bu Ye was confused for a moment, and then became completely angry: "Who is going to help me take this man's life? Do you want me to go into battle myself?"
Maybe the shot was too fast. Of course, some of the people did not believe in evil, so they left the city. However, as soon as the drum sounded, the man was shot to death under the city gate again.
The generals of the Jin Kingdom looked at each other, how could they not know that although the commander of the Song Kingdom below the city had a mediocre appearance, he had great skills. This time he came to the city to knock on the city and he relied on something.
Can you endure it?
Therefore, after a while, someone went out to fight again, but he changed into a pair of heavy armor, hung up a neck guard, and put on a cowhide mask, as if he wanted to compete with the opponent in spear skills.
This time, the drum beat a full blast, but it was only one blast. The man was stabbed to death by General Song outside the city, and his head was cut off and placed on the ground.
Now, no one dares to go to war without permission for the sake of Tatao's mere promise... His official position is one thing, but his life is his own. Seeing that the man under the city is a first-class hero, who wants to give it away for free?
Killed?
Of course, although Data Buye was extremely angry, he was not a stupid person. Now that he saw the opponent's ability, he no longer asked his subordinates to do anything to challenge him, but simply called Yimouke and asked this person to
Lead thirty Jurchen knights in light armor to fight... The so-called light armor means that they must be captured and killed and will not let this general escape; the thirty knights are the maximum size that can be swarmed out due to the size limit of the city gate.
The time has come to noon, and the drumming started again, and this time it was particularly exciting. Seven Song troops outside the city threw down their flags, and they started a fierce chase with thirty Jurchen light armored cavalry in the open space north of the city.
However, the direction of the battle still left Da Ta Buye and others in the city dumbfounded... As mentioned before, the main tactic of the Jurchen cavalry is to use bows and arrows on horseback, but their bows and arrows are far less powerful and armor-breaking than
The range of the Song Army's arrows. And the seven Song Army knights under the city are not only good at equestrian skills and archery skills, but the leading general also has rare magical archery skills. Not only does this person have an extremely long range, but his power and accuracy are also extremely good.
Far beyond imagination, it can easily dodge and turn around to shoot even while running fast.
I saw these seven knights leading the thirty-horse Jurchens back and forth. Every time the Song general returned to the capital, he easily shot down a Jurchen knight. After tossing and turning, in just one stick of incense, only twenty of the thirty-horse Jurchens were left.
However, the morale of the cavalry has been extremely depressed, and it seems that most of the people lost are officers!
Da Ta Bu Ye's eyes were splitting as he watched, and while he ordered the money to be withdrawn, he called a Jurchen Muke and asked the latter to see Wanyan Seri in person, so as to allow him to send his troops out of the city!
